accessories must be washed through by making at
least five coffees without using ground coffee.
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH THE POD
FILTER HOLDER (IF INCLUDED)
1.Preheat the appliance as described in the paragraph
"PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT", making sure the
filter holder is attached. This prepares a hotter
espresso.
2.Press the filter holder button and insert a pod,
centering it as far as possible on the filter (fig. 12).
Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the filter correctly.
Note: use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on
the pack by the following symbol:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod
producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared
simply and cleanly.
3.Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always
rotate as far as it will go (fig. 4).
Note: To ensure effective closure and avoid water
leaking from the rim of the filter holder, you are
recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs
from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in figure
13).
IMPORTANT: When using the pod filter holder, after
using the filter for ground coffee, remove any coffee
grounds stuck to the boiler outlet (fig. 14). Failure to
observe this precaution may lead to water leaking
from the edges of the pod filter holder while the
espresso is being prepared.
4.Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 in the previous
paragraph (how to prepare espresso coffee using the
filter holder for ground coffee).
5.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter
holder and extract it.
6.To turn the espresso maker off, press the ON/OFF
button (fig. 3).
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1.Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the
previous paragraphs, using sufficiently large cups.
2.Press the steam button (fig. 15) and wait for the
steam indicator light to come on (fig. 5). The OK
indicator light indicates that the boiler has reached
the ideal temperature for steam production.
3.In the meantime, fill a container with about 100
grams (3.5 oz.) of milk for each cappuccino to be
prepared. The milk must be at refrigerator
temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size of the
container, bear in mind that the milk increases in
volume by 2 or 3 times.
NOTE: YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO USE SKIM
MILK AT REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE.
4.Place the container with milk under the cappuccino
frother.
5.Dip the cappuccino frother into the container with
milk (fig. 16), taking care not to immerse the raised
line on the cappuccino frother (indicated by the
arrow in fig. 17). Turn the steam knob at least a half
turn counter-clockwise (fig. 18). Steam is given off by
the cappuccino frother, giving the milk a creamy
frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip
the cappuccino frother into the milk and rotate the
container with slow movements from the bottom
upwards.
6.When the required temperature is reached
(60°C/140°F is ideal), interrupt steam delivery by
rotating the steam knob clockwise and at the same time
pressing the steam button (fig. 15).
7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino
is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the
froth with a little cocoa powder.
Note: To prepare more than one cappuccino, first
make all the espressos then at the end prepare the
frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino frother
after use. Proceed as follows:
1.Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating
the steam knob (fig. 18). This empties any milk left
inside the steam tube.
IMPORTANT: you are recommended to follow this
procedure each time you make cappuccino to avoid
milk stagnating in the milk circuit.
2.With one hand, hold the cappuccino tube firmly and
with the other unscrew the cappuccino frother itself
by rotating clockwise and pulling downwards (fig.
19).
